Henman outlasts Carlsen

Tim Henman survived the first round in Paris for the eighth consecutive
year, winning a battle of thirty-somethings on Sunday.
Henman, 31, needed almost three hours to dispatch 33-year-old Kenneth
Carlsen, 6-3 6-4 4-6 6-4, on Court No1. The Brit prevailed by keeping Carlsen
on the run constantly with deep ground strokes and his usual array of volleys. He forced 42 errors from the Dane and won 32 of 41 points at the net.
Racing to a 4-1 lead in the opening set, Henman appeared in command. The
Brit sealed the second set in 39 minutes before Carlsen eventually found his
game late in the third, taking it with a late break of serve.
Henman took control of the fourth set by breaking Carlsen in the third
game thanks to some well-constructed points and a little luck. After forehand
and volley winners, Henman hit a shot that Carlsen thought would be long - he
pumped his fist in celebration, only to watch the ball land on the back edge
of the baseline.
The Brit hung tough to survive back-to-back shaky service games - including
a break point at 4-3 - to preserve the victory, his fourth in his last five
clay court matches.
Henman now awaits the winner of (31) Dmitry Tursunov and Jiri Novak. The
Brit is 0-2 all-time against Tursunov, losing to the young Russian at the
Australian Open this year and at Wimbledon a year ago (8-6 in the fifth set).
Novak has beaten him three straight times, but they have not met since 2004.
